Don't bury me...I'm not dead! Wes Craven's voodoo flick came out this day in 1988. Part horror, part straight drama, the troubled production was also the subject of a great episode of Cursed Films on Shudder.  #wescraven #80shorror

Happy Birthday to David Cronenberg's trippy VIDEODROME. When we were looking for movie themed horror posters for our store, how could we not include Videodrome?! In fact, we have this very poster image hanging right above our check out counter.  #davidcronenberg #80shorror

We sadly lost "Rumpelstiltskin" director Mark Jones a few weeks ago. You can celebrate Mark by taking home this brilliant 4K release from Terror Vision. Just head to our New Releases section for this plus other new Blu-ray and DVD selections. We're open today from 4pm to late!

Congrats to the Nintendo Switch on becoming their best-selling console of all time: a whopping 155.37 million units since it launched in 2017. Are you a Switch fan?  If you want to go the more retro gaming route, we have Atari, SNES, PS1 and Wii games in the store. Open today from 4pm until late.

Ti West's creepy ghost story THE INNKEEPERS premiered on this day in 2012. Nothin will ever beat West's House of the Devil but if you like slow burn horror, check out this Sara Paxton and Pat Healy vehicle.  #tiwest #2000shorror

Had no idea and need to go find this now!!!!

For the Twin Peaks and David Lynch heads 🌲☕ We just stocked several issues of the rare magazine The Blue Rose, deep dives into all things Lynch, lore, dreams, and dread. Want to go full mega fan? Join our rental club and take Eraserhead home on VHS 📼 Yes, really.

Kicking off Black History Month, we celebrate the late actor Duane Jones, star of "Night of the Living Dead" and "Ganja & Hess" on hir birthday. Duane is widely considered to be the first Black male lead in a horror film. FYI, Living Dead co-creator John Russo was also born on this day!

Cowabunga, it's Saturday and we're open! Order yourself some pizza & come by the store to grab yourself complete seasons of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on DVD or some legit 90s TMNT action figures.  #tmnt #teenagemutantninjaturtles

Love them or hate them, the Star Wars Special Editions were released on this day in 1997. We can’t wait for the original, untouched versions to return to theaters next year! #starwars

We are absolutely GUTTED about the loss of Catherine O'Hara. As an actor, she was truly in some of our favorite films of all time: Home Alone, Beetlejuice, Waiting for Guffman, Best in Show, A Mighty Wind, Nightmare Before Christmas not to mention her brilliant work on TV in SCTV and Schitt’s Creek.

Hey Traders! We will be closed today Friday January 30th but we will reopen tomorrow/Saturday at noon. Stay warm, watch VHS.

Released on this day in 1998, it's the espionage flick meets monster movie DEEP RISING. This crowd pleaser from the director of The Mummy has a stacked cast including Treat Williams, Famke Janssen, Wes Studi and Anthony Heald (star of The Silence of the Lambs which also came out on January 30th).

Today would have been Gene Hackman's 96th birthday. Lex Luthor, Popeye Doyle, Royal Tenenbaum,  do you have a favorite Gene role? Truly, one of the most impressive filmographies of all time.

Captain Video to the rescue! Anyone remember this New York chain?  #videostore #videostorevibes #videostoreforever #videostorememories

There's snow everywhere, the world is is chaos and our pet's heads are falling off but don't worry, we're screening DUMB & DUMBER this Saturday with Story Screen Cinema. Come see this 90s classic on VHS with a brand new pre-show plus commercial breaks straight out of 1994.

A fantastic ode to low-budget movies and the madmen like William Castle that make them, Joe Dante's MATINEE was released on this day in 1993. Are you a fan of this loving tribute?

Much love to our friends Mike & Diana at Story Screen Cinema. Sleepover wouldn't be Sleepover without Story Screen. From our first collaboration in 2024 to this Saturday's final (for now) screening, we have been so grateful to have met you.  We can't wait to see what you do next.

Who here has heard of LEGEND OF THE ROLLER BLADE SEVEN? Yeah, we didn’t think so either. This 1992 head-scratcher stars (Frank) Stallone and (Joe) Estevez, with Karen Black, Rhonda Shear, and Scott Shaw, the writer, producer, martial artist, and DIY movie man.

Happy Birthday to Jack Hill, director of “Track of the Vampire,” “House of Evil” and one of our favorites: “Spider Baby: The Maddest Story Ever Told" (which we just saw nearby Tinker Street Cinema just screened yesterday).

Back when Apple had an apparel catalog (1986)

We've restocked our magazines: Monsters, Movies and Music! A little bit of everything. We'll be open today from 4pm to late. Grab some reading material for the next time you're snowed in.  #catskillny #catskill #monstermagazines

Spend this Valentine's Day with us as we present 2001's VALENTINE at The Community Theater for our next Sleepover Saturday on February 14th.  From the director of "Urban Legend", this post-Scream slasher stars David Boreanaz, Denise Richards and Marley Shelton.

Happy Birthday to the drive-in master & horror host extraordinaire Joe Bob Briggs. We've been fortune it enough to meet Joe Bob a few times including most recently at his amazing Poughkeepsie  show and some Joe Bob DVDs in the store! #joebobbriggs

Flashback to Sleepover Saturday last weekend with GLAM STROKER! 😈💜 More clips in stories. 🎟️TIX FOR FEBRUARY ❤️🔪 NOW AVAILABLE @communitytheaterny

“Video for the ’90s… and beyond.” 📼✨ Cult films, vintage TV, rock ’n’ roll classics, and beautifully weird tape energy. Rhino Home Video knew the future lived on VHS shelves. Be kind. Rewind. 💜 #RhinoHomeVideo #VHSForever #VideoStoreVibes #AnalogMagic #CultVideo

Not only did we get some incredible treasures 👑 Rascal Salvage yesterday & get to meet Michelle there (who is amazing😍), but she took us through the ice & snow ❄️ to meet FALKOR from The Neverending Story… a dream come true 💗 DO NOT MISS THIS SPECIAL PLACE, head to NJ for it 👏

Dreaming of Spring today??? Before ads explained anything, they just felt like this. Zena fashion (Abraham & Straus, c.1980): denim, daylight, and a very specific early-’80s spell. Captured from VHS, because of course. 📼🌾 On our YT Archive 📺 #FoundFootage #RetroStyle #DepartmentStoreEra

Small but mighty haul 💥 Trip to NJ included the awesome YESTERTOYS -> absolute grail status unlocked: a complete Hydro Viper 🐍💦, Polly Pocket She-Ra magic ✨, and a Mantenna with the painted eyes still intact (the real flex). When the pile is small but every piece hits, you know you did it right.

PSA: You can find the White (and Green) Ranger Karate Club training videos on YouTube. youtu.be/BDzwS0IfdDE?...

Too much snow? ❄️ Take a VHS vacation 🌴 We hit the rental wall & suddenly it’s bikinis, caves, + dinosaurs instead of shovels. Featuring Beach Babes 2: Cave Girl Island & Dinosaur Island 🏝️🦖 Which one are you renting to escape winter? 📼☀️ #VHSVacation #RentalWall #SnowDayEscapism #VideoStoreForever

When Saturday morning went straight-to-VHS 📼⚡️ Saban really said: your dojo is now the living room, and the White Ranger is your sensei. Direct-to-video. Karate club. 90s merchandising energy & we love every second of it. GO GO POWER RANGERS! ✨MMPR #BeKindRewind #VHSForever #PowerRangers #90sKids

What's on our rental wall? Our co-founder Rob shares three favorites including two low budget horror films and one 90s comedy you won't find on streaming.  The store is open today starting at 4pm. Not yet a rental member? Sign-up in our bio or at sleepovertrading.com.

Picture it: It's New Jersey in the 1990s and flipping through the channels you come across a public access looking tv show featuring a grown man with a bow-tie, loud jacket and weird hat talking to a puppet and playing old-timey music. This was the Uncle Floyd Show. RIP Floyd Vivino.  #UncleFloyd

“And on the seventh day… he joined the rental program.” 📼💥 High art, higher commitment. From divine creation to divine membership perks. Salvation comes with a membership card and unlimited rewinds. Sign up. Be faithful. Rent often. #VideoStoreForever #RentalMembership #VHSCulture #AnalogDevotion

I hope you have "Piper Laurie in Twin Peaks" vibes today on what would have been her 94th birthday.  From "Carrie" to "The Faculty" to "Return to Oz", Ms. Laurie's video store pedigree is top notch.  #PiperLaurie #TwinPeaks #Carrie

Nothing says “the future of classic film” like a Wall Street power suit with a neon aerobics icon. 📈🩷 Suspenders vs. sweatbands.Black-and-white prestige vs. Day-Glo excess. One foot in the boardroom, the other in a Jazzercise VHS. The 90s: why not both? #RetroAds #VHSCulture #90sAesthetic

This is not a rom-com. 💔 This is not a date movie. This is Valentine. 💘🔪 A glossy Y2K slasher featuring David Boreanaz Join us 2/14 for SLEEPOVER SATURDAY at Community Theater, Catskill for a Valentine that bites back! 🎟️ available now! #SleepoverSaturday #ValentinesHorror #AnalogNight #BeKindRewind

Geena Davis has an Oscar and some classy movies in her filmography (and a failed but funny sitcom) but she is also a peak tier genre queen. So today we celebrate Geena, the star of The Fly, Beetlejuice, and Transylvania 6-500, on her birthday!  #geenadavis

Love notes. 💌 Red roses. 🌹 Unresolved trauma. 🔪 Join us 2/14 for a very unfriendly Valentine @communitytheaterny Movie reveal tomorrow… #SleepoverSaturday #ValentinesSlasher #HorrorNight #VideoStoreForever

We keep finding proof that the ’80s were wildly imaginative ✨ PURR-TENDERS were all cats, each pretending to be a different animal, and that idea somehow made it all the way to books like this. The kind of thing that only exists because someone really believed in it 🐱🐶🐰📚

Happy birthday to our bad boy boyfriend Skeet Ulrich. He can crawl in our window anytime! Also, we've started our Scream rewatch to get ready for Scream 7. Have you?  #skeetulrich #scream #90shorror

Rental wall roulette 🎲 today’s pull: Clerks. Black and white. Loud opinions. VHS forever. #RentalWall #VHSForever #AnalogCulture #BeKindRewind #SleepoverTradingCo

Director Roger Allers made history when his 1994 film The Lion King set the all-time record for VHS sales. RIP Roger, you made one for the record books.  #thelionking

All 50+ of you traders who showed up for Sleepover Saturday last night were absolute magic 💖 But one extra-special shoutout to our friend Mars from @phoenixwebcollective, who gifted us this incredible Frankenhooker art. We are truly, deeply, forever obsessed. “Wanna date? Got any money?” 📼💋

Woke up to a very surprising snowstorm yet again ❄️ But there’s always time to pull a few tapes out of storage. Winter programming, VHS-style 📼 #SnowDay #VHSForever #BeKindRewind #AnalogWinter #TapeWeather

RIP Mark Jones. He gave us folklore horror with teeth. Leprechaun was mean, funny, and unforgettable, and Rumpelstiltskin was a grimy VHS-era deep cut that still haunts rental wall memories. Handmade monsters. Big personality. Pure video store energy. 🍀📼 #RIP #Leprechaun #Rumpelstiltskin

Sometimes the tape finds you. 📼 On the eve of tonight’s Frankenhooker screening, someone walked into the shop with a shrink wrapped VHS copy they decided to part with because they worked on the film. Right place, right time, pure video store magic. See you tonight 🎥. Be kind, rewind your childhood.
